You can help Berkeley kids succeed and enjoy the
satisfaction of "making a difference" for just two
hours per week.  WriterCoach Connection (WCC),
formerly Writers' Room, pairs trained volunteers with
students to help them master the writing and critical
thinking skills needed to complete assignments and
succeed.  The program has brought impressive results
to Berkeley public schools.

Coaches commit to a regular,  2-hour/week assignment
(other options possible) and meet weekly, during the
school day, to work  one-on-one with students in their
English classes.  The program serves all 9th grade
students at Berkeley High, and Writer's Cafe at BHS
serves all classes at lunchtime.

You don't have to be a writer or educator; WriterCoach
Connection trains you to be a coach.  Learn
step-by-step methods to coach students--including your
own--at one of our fall trainings.  We recently added
two afternoon sessions, 3A and 5A, in addition to
evening trainings:

Session 3A:  Mondays  9/13 & 20,   12:00-3:00 PM
Session 4:   Thursday,  9/16 & 9/23,  6:30-9:30 PM
Session 5:   Mondays,  9/20 & 9/27,  6:30-9:30 PM
Session 5A  Tuesdays, 9/21 & 9/28    12:00-03:00 PM
Session 6:   Wednesdays 10/6 & 10/13 6:30-9:30 PM
